Lin Qiubai came back, and the news spread like a small whirlwind in Repulse Bay.

For the people of Repulse Bay, Lin Qiubai is definitely the man of the year in Repulse Bay, because he is the first and only college student in Repulse Bay. Cultural people, have a future, can make a lot of money in the future, and now this cultural person suddenly came back from the outside, and looked quite embarrassed, no suits and leather shoes, no fragrant car beauties, on the contrary, the face is haggard, and the old farmer who has just returned from working in the field, naturally caused a sensation in Repulse Bay, these people are speculating, is it that Qiubai's baby didn't make money outside? So you have to go home?

Lin Qiubai didn't know about the speculation of the people in Repulse Bay, but he could guess one or two, but there was no way, because he knew that in the hearts of these people, there was no way out for a lifetime, and only by going out to work could he make money, this idea could not be said to be wrong, Repulse Bay was too poor, there were originally a total of ten families, and five of them had already moved out of here to earn money by working outside, and the rest were still suffering, and the people of Repulse Bay had to go to the city to live a good life, but now Lin Qiubai went the opposite way and returned to Repulse Bay, Coupled with the fact that he is a college student, it is difficult for people to think about the benefits.

Lin Qiubai opened the door of the house, and the dust fell from the door, making Lin Qiubai frown a little, he hadn't come back for almost a year, the house was unattended, the ground was dusty, and every step on it was footprints.

Put the suitcase on the ground, Lin Qiubai turned around and walked out of the house, and came to the east end of Repulse Bay, where lived Aunt Lu's family, Aunt Lu's two sons, both working outside, it is said that they can make money, Repulse Bay people estimate that Aunt Lu should move next year, move to the city to enjoy happiness, as soon as they talk about this, Repulse Bay people are envious.

"Auntie, auntie." Lin Qiubai shouted in the dam, and a yellow dog tied to the door of Aunt Lu's house barked at him, Lin Qiubai rarely came back in recent years, and the dog naturally didn't know him.

Aunt Lu was feeding the pigs in the pig house, and when she heard the shout, she walked out, still holding a pig scoop in her hand, squinted her eyes and looked at Lin Qiubai, and it took a long time to recognize it: "Oh, it's Qiubai baby, when did you come back?" Come into the house and sit down. ”

"No, auntie, I just came back, and I just put things down, and I have to go back to clean up the house in a while." Lin Qiubai smiled and rejected Aunt Lu's kindness.

"Oh, you're going to clean up the house? Are you going to come back for a few days? ”

"No, but I'm going to stay at home all the time." Lin Qiubai didn't hide it from his aunt, he really planned to farm well when he came back this time.

"What? Don't go out? Alas, it seems that your baby has made a lot of money. ”

"Huh." Lin Qiubai smiled.

"It seems that you must be making money, your baby is the first college student in our Repulse Bay, if you don't make money, then you can pay it back? If you have money, go to the city to buy a house, what are you doing here, and you don't have anyone to take care of your house, do you still plan to rebuild it? ”

"Actually, I didn't make any money, I just couldn't get along outside, and I was going to go home and farm." Lin Qiubai said half-truths and half-truths.

"Farming? Alas, you baby, working outside to earn more money, what is good about farming, I am very tired all day long, and I haven't got any money, but your baby has ideas, and there is no one in your family, if you want to do something, come to me, and help me if you can. "Aunt Lu seems quite enthusiastic, now the old in Repulse Bay, the young, and the young all go out to work, although Lin Qiubai is also from Repulse Bay, but he is not at home all the year round, and now he is a freshman, so Aunt Lu is very talkative.

Lin Qiubai listened with a smile and said: "Auntie, I really have something to tell you, that is, the matter of my family's soil field contracted by your family, and it will expire next year, I heard that my aunt is going to the city to enjoy happiness, so I will take back the soil field next year?" And then grow your own? ”

"Oh, this thing, you can do it, if you don't come back, I want to find my baby to call you, but you really want to farm, farming is very tired, I'll tell you" Aunt Lu began to tell Lin Qiubai about the tiredness of farming, to be honest, no one wants to farm nowadays, they all take advantage of their youth to go out to work, Lin Qiubai actually wants to farm, Aunt Lu really doesn't believe it, although this baby is tall and big, but he has been studying, and after reading the book, he went to work outside, and it is estimated that he really can't farm.

"Hehe, auntie, it's okay, I really don't plan to go out now, just farm at home, and also, next year, when your family moves to the city, what will you do with the fields at home? If so, you will contract me the land, and I will plant it? Auntie, do you think it's okay? ”

"My family's field? This matter has to be discussed with the baby, but I don't think the problem is big, wait for me to call and discuss it with the baby. ”

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry, I'm leaving, then auntie."

"Yes, come over for a meal at noon."

"No, it will take time to clean up the house, I still have something to do in the afternoon."

"Oh, yes, then I'll have more time to come."

Lin Qiubai left Mrs. Lu's house, Mrs. Lu's enthusiasm made him feel a little emotional, rural people want to go to the city, but how do they know the difficulties in the city, let's talk about the neighborhood relationship, where can the city people have such enthusiasm for rural people.

At the beginning, there were a total of ten families in Repulse Bay, but now there are five families left, and these five families also include Lin Qiubai, walking back along the path, Lin Qiubai looked at the cold and deserted Repulse Bay, and took a deep breath, it is better to be at home.

The pattern of Repulse Bay is the pattern of most of the farmers in the rural areas of Shudi, ten families have formed a large yard, said to be a courtyard, in fact, it is quite large, because the rural people have a dam at the door, which is used to dry things, in addition to the dam, the yard even has some land, grow some vegetables or something, but that was a few years ago, now there are only five families left, the old and the young, the other five houses are not inhabited, it has been very dilapidated, the weeds in the house are about to grow to the height of people, like the land in the yard is almost no one cares, It's all grass, it looks green, and it's a kind of scenery, and it's definitely not to be seen in a city where every inch of land is valuable.

Outside Repulse Bay, surrounded by a bamboo forest, it is June now, the bamboo forest is cool and refreshing, these bamboos are Repulse Bay people's own, like Lin Qiubai's family also has a bamboo forest, usually if you want to make something to go to the bamboo forest to cut at will.

And what makes Lin Qiubai feel most pleased is a shallow river that flows through the shallow water bay, which is also the origin of the name of the shallow water bay, the shallow water river is not wide, it is only three or four meters, the source is a dam six or seven miles away from here, as long as the dam water is not dry, the shallow water river often flows, when he was a child, in the summer, Lin Qiubai's favorite thing to do is to go down to the river to bathe with his friends, but now, the shallow water river is not clear, and the friends are not in the repulse bay. Many precious things are also slowly being lost.

Back home, Lin Qiubai began to clean the house, this house belongs to the old house, quite large, two are earthen houses, two are brick houses, there are pig barns and backyards in the back, the four houses add up to at least more than 100 square meters, Lin Qiubai first swept the house roughly, and then went to the well to pick up water, should be wiped and washed, should be washed, from morning to noon, it was roughly cleaned up, so hot that he was sweating profusely, Suo surnamed stood in the backyard and took a shower with well water, and then shivered from the cold.

After finishing these, Aunt Lu came over again and asked Lin Qiubai to go to her house for dinner, this time Lin Qiubai was not arrogant and went directly.

There are only three people in Aunt Lu's family now, her wife is also surnamed Lu, and there is a little granddaughter, who is only five years old, and she has not yet gone to kindergarten.

Stir-fried rattan and rattan vegetables, a plate of soaked river beans, and a pot of spicy sauerkraut fish, the staple food is naturally rice, but it can be eaten hard, it is enough, Lin Qiubai has eaten a lot of good things outside, but this time I eat this kind of farmhouse dish but I feel that the taste is really great, I ate two big bowls of rice in a row, the dishes were swept away, and even the soaked river beans and sauerkraut fish soup were killed, and I saw Aunt Lu and Uncle Lu squinting with a smile, in the eyes of these rural old people, it is a blessing to be able to eat.
